3-(4-(Dibenzylamino)phenyl)oxetan-3-ol → 3-(4-Aminophenyl)oxetan-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-(4-(dibenzylamino)phenyl)oxetan-3-ol (1.5 g, 5.217 mmol, 1.0 eq) in THF (50 mL) and EtOH (50 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (300 mg) and the mixture was stirred in hydrogen atmosphere at 40 psi H2 for 5 h. The mixture was passed through celite, the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to get 3-(4-aminophenyl)oxetan-3-ol (1.1 g, 77%; TLC system: EtOAc/PE (7:3), Rf: 0.55).
